WebKit in Apple tvOS before 9.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3079-1 advisory.

    A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK+ Web and JavaScript engines. If a user     were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related     to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary     code execution.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is running a version of iOS 9.3.x prior to version 9.3.3, and the following components contain vulnerabilities :

 - CFNetwork
 - libxml2
 - WebKit
 - CoreGraphics
 - FaceTime
 - ImageIO
 - IOHIDFamily
 - Sandbox
 - Kernel
 - libxslt
 - Calender
 - IOAcceleratorFamily
 - Safari
 - Siri Contacts
 - Web Media

Versions of Apple TV 9.2.x prior to 9.2.2 are affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

 - CFNetwork
 - CoreGraphics
 - IOAcceleratorFamily
 - IOHIDFamily
 - ImageIO
 - Kernel
 - libxml2
 - libxslt
 - Sandbox

According to its banner, the version of the remote Apple TV device is prior to 9.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - CoreGraphics
  - ImageIO
  - IOAcceleratorFamily
  - IOHIDFamily
  - Kernel
  - libxml2
  - libxslt
  - Sandbox Profiles
  - WebKit
  - WebKit Page Loading

Note that only 4th generation models are affected by the vulnerabilities.
